October Break 2018

Since starting school in September 2018 my son had his first parents evening and is currently on his second level 1 book at school.

What I have found is that despite him being at school a lot of the leaning is still on the parent/guardian to be very involved in the three 

“R's” at home.

1. Reading
   
2. 
   
   
   Writing
3. 
   
   
   arithmetic

This is why I quest myself and think that may be I should home school and save myslef the time and money it costs to take my son to school every day on public transport.

At the moment I get “free” travel for him until his fifth birthday. I will then have to start paying about £700.00 per term for bus fare and my own on top.

To be continued.

Home schooling my son with Flash Cards from at aged two.

I have always found flash cards to be a good way for learning at home and is something that even the schools do too.  My son gets four words to learn and when he knows them he gets another four added to them.

Book(s) My Book(s) and Home Schooling information Back to School

Back to school, most people are thinking about nothing this week than "back to school" and already I have seen "Christmas" stock on the shelves in stores before "Halloween"   Life today seams to be about our next shop our next buy.  Even if it means buying things that we do not really need.  One thing that I am trying to teach my children in to "Eat to live" and not to "Live to eat" and to only buy thing when they really need to and not just because they think they need them or want them.  There is nothing wrong with a little indulgence but I do not want my children to become to commercialized.
